Edges of work.
What do you do to the edges of your work before you start? I find that just a fine line of clear nail polish helps. Others stitch or overlock their work.I find placing painter's tape on the edge and folding over onto itself allows me to use a larger hoop and it is easily removed when complete and not sticky. I either use a zigzag stitch (if I use my sewing machine) or whip stitch if by hand. I zigzag the edges and then straight stitch over the zigzag, (with my machine) I either use a zigzag stitch(use my sewing machine) Uso cinta adhesiva y así nunca de deshilacha Following this thread Edytowano przez misia2 dnia 2013-8-10 09:47
Ja obszywam brzegi kanwy sciegiem zwanym pieluszkowym lub poscielowym ,niektórz obklejają tasma malarską przy dużych projekatach I use fray check. It's a liquid and very easy to use. It's a great thing to have on hand for other things like mending too. Sometimes I just machine stitch the edges, but the little pieces I just leave as is.I never thought of fray check.Great tip.:D The larger pieces of linen are serged when I buy them. If I need a smaller piece I run into problems because I don't have a serger. I've tried to hand stitch the edges but found that the five theads or so deep that I whip the edge will all separate from the rest as a single unit. So, it doesn't work for me, I think I lose less theads off the sides if I don't whip the edges at all. spacegirl replied at 2013-8-14 00:59 static/image/common/back.gif

I have not stitched on Linen and always use Aida, but I will keep this in mind.
First I use adhesive paper, but this damages the fabric. Now I overlap it. Sewing machine, that's the fastest for me. Sobrehílo con maquina de coser que es mas rapido seditas replied at 2013-8-16 09:50 static/image/common/back.gif
